Legal Question in Investment Law in Illinois
Regarding my previous Question "Is there a state or federal law that requires spousal approval if they are not the sole primary beneficiary for a retirement or investment account?"
Your response: "What are you trying to do? Is this an IRA or something and you want to designate a beneficiary other than your spouse? Or is it an employment benefit? Please be specific about what it is and what you want to do. Thanks.
Yes this is an IRA account. Thanks for you previous response.

Well, you answered Part A but not Part B. We now know this is an IRA account. We don't know if it is being funded with marital assets. We still don't know what you want to do with it specifically. So my best suggestion would be to go to the financial institution where you have or want to set up an account, and ask them their procedures and requirements.
